Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.

Notice how extraordinary your life truly is. It’s filled with love. Open your heart to it.

My life is wondrous, and I appreciate it every day!

No one makes it to the "top" by themselves. Each step you take is guided by at least one person's blood, sweat and tears. Appreciate those who stand behind you as you rise. They are the only ones who will catch you if you fall. The ladder of success is steadiest when someone's there to support it.

The energy I want to put out in the world is the kind of energy even people that don’t fuck with me appreciate and benefit from. Positivity is all I want in my life.

To have extreme, laser-like focus, you must be willing to reject a lot of opportunities, even if they sound great.

Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them

Time is the first currency for success and one we all hold in common.

You receive the gift of time freely and equally every day, beautifully wrapped in twenty-four new hours to invest in whatever you want, and how you use each hour decides your success or the lack of it

Find something about yourself to laugh about every day.

The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.

You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.

To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.

There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it

Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Master the art of finding something to celebrate about in each moment and life will become an exciting adventure

Don’t try, be happy.

You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.

The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.

To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.

The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.

You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.

Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.

Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.

Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.

Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.

Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.

Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.

Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.

You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.

To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.

Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.

Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.

Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.

The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.

Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.

Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.

The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance

Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.

It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.

Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.

Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.

Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.

If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.

Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.

You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.

Your life is a direct reflection of your level of investment in yourself, and your success or the lack of it is often decided by your personal development level.

Commit to the lifestyle of investing in you first. It always produces the best return.

Investing in yourself is one of the foundations for better relationships, health, happiness, success, and prosperity.

You can’t excel in everything but you can be exceptional in a few things, so why not choose your life’s focus?

You will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your wisdom or personal development level.

Invest time, energy, and money into increasing your knowledge and wisdom so you can become the best you can be – it’s the best investment you could make.

Your wisdom decides your value, the size of the problems you can solve, the opportunities you create, and ultimately the level of success you experience.

To be successful choose an area of focus in life. It will identify where your energy should be invested and (more importantly) the source of your joy and success.

Progress can’t be achieved without investing in and constantly improving yourself.

Don’t ask what it will cost or how much of your time you will have to sacrifice. Instead, ask what it’s worth.

The level of success you experience externally is a reflection of your level of personal development internally.

Good mentors and coaches will help you reach your destination faster than you can by yourself.

If you wish to be and remain successful, invest a minimum of five to ten per cent of your income each month and your time each day on your personal growth and development.

Success can’t be achieved without personal development and constantly improving yourself.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that your dreams, desires or goals are more important than fear.

Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.

Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.

Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.

Dare to be different.

Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.

Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.

You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.

Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.

You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.

Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.

To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.

Life goals hold the key to a lifetime of success.

At the end of your life you want to arrive at a well-designed destination rather than an unexpected destination, and you do this by setting life goals, not short-term, not medium, not long-term, but life goals.

Your goals should not be based on what you can do or what is possible but on what you want.

Failure is a pitfall of working without a plan.

Goals reveal your path to success, greatness and significance. Become a master goal setter and you will chart the course of your life.

Life should not be measured by duration alone but by donation also, by what you do during your lifetime.

Goals help you look towards the future with anticipation and excitement rather than with anxiety, and when clearly defined and broken into smaller steps, they enable you pay the price needed to achieve your dreams.

The greatest value in the goal process is the skills, the knowledge, the discipline, and the character you develop in pursuit of your goal.

Achieving your goal should always be of secondary importance. Your focus should be on becoming the kind of person deserving of the goal.

Be specific about what you want. Decide, define, describe, discuss and develop your plans and then act on them.

In selecting any goal you should focus on the reason – without a compelling reason your resolve will weaken.

There is a direct relationship between the number of times you attempt a task and the likelihood of success.

Effort is the foundation of all achievements and is the single greatest competitive advantage and quality you must consistently apply to achieve your dreams.

You must discipline yourself consistently to do what others do occasionally in order to have the future few will get to experience.

Talent is never enough. Effort, not talent, is the key to success.

Your rewards in life will be in proportion to the effort you apply.

Talent helps, but success is only achieved and sustained through consistent effort.

Success is not simply about intelligence and ambition. The time invested, the quality of preparation, and the effort applied are essential to excellence or mastery.

Working hard alone without being smart and consistent won’t lead to success.

Wisdom allows you to decide how best to apply yourself to get the most return on your time and energy invested.

Success isn’t entirely a numbers game, but numbers play a part.

Hard work without purpose seldom leads to success.

To be successful you must be willing to work hard, work smart, work consistently, and most importantly do all three simultaneously over a long period of time.

Goals are the result of bringing your dreams, ideas, and ideals into a real and examinable form by giving them permanence in written form.

They are probably the single most important deciding factor for long-term success, and your ability to set and make plans to achieve them is the master skill to your successful future.

Long-term goals provide focus, but inspiration comes from the accomplishment of short-term goals.

In order to be successful you must decide to be intentional about what you do, how you live, and who you are becoming.

Achieving a goal is not the most important part of the process. The destination should never be your primary purpose or objective.

Reasons are the fuel for goal achievement. Without a strong enough reason, it’s impossible to persevere.

The person you grow to become in pursuit of a goal makes the journey a memorable experience.

Life isn’t about what you have, it’s about who you are.

Select carefully and continuously review your circle of influence, and be unapologetic about who you exclude.

Love everyone but chose your friends with caution.

Difficult times revel true friends but also the unfaithful in your life. Be attentive always, but especially during tough times.

Don’t be naïve – appearance matters. Style comes before substance during first impressions. People judge based on what they see before they find out what’s within.

You’ll live your life at the least common denominator of those you spend the most time with if you are not watchful.

Your associations play a crucial part of your success equation. Study them closely because they will help or hinder you from reaching your potential.

Don’t leave it to chance, find success and replicate it.

Your environment and the associations you keep will affect how you think, feel, and act, and ultimately the results you get.

You are the best thing that will happen to someone today.

Your ability to learn from the experiences of other successful people is one of your most important habits that will give you the best chance of success.

If you wish to be successful, you have be willing to invest the time, energy, and money necessary to associate with the right people.

Others have seen and experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly, and their experiences serve as models you can learn from.

You rob yourself of reaching your maximum potential and the best chance of success when you try to succeed alone.

Get around people who are trying to make a difference in the world. Iron sharpens iron.

Although failure is a good learning experience, you don’t have to go through life making mistakes if they can be avoided.

You could be performing below your potential in areas where you are relying on your own experiences alone and without the guidance of a trusted mentor.

Develop a strong thirst for positive associations and learning from others, because the right people can take you further than you can go on your own.

Success is not achieved in a vacuum: the people you spend most of your time with and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts play a significant part in your success or lack of it.

Incredible ideas, results, and outcomes are possible when two or more minds come together for a common purpose.

Generosity creates the higher life. There is no nobler virtue than the care one person shows to another.

Less is more, especially in relationships. You must understand and appreciate the importance of quality in relationships over quantity.

Become skilled in the process of selecting whom you allow into your circle of influence.

Don’t live your life in the future without any planned rewards for your effort and sacrifices today.

Anything in your life achieved too soon or too freely with little sacrifice is lost too quickly

Be willing to give up something you believe to be of value to get something of greater value.

The promise of the future is only possible when the price is paid in full and in advance.

You are often prevented from reaching your full potential because you hold so tightly to your past success.

To become successful, you have to let go of something to get something else of greater value.

Be willing to constantly travel towards the dreams of your future and don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.

Success comes with a promise and a price. The price has to be paid in full and in advance before the promise is fulfilled.

If you are serious about achieving your desired goals, be willing to let go of the small pleasures found in the moment that may sabotage your chances of experiencing true pleasure when the sacrifice is paid.

The pursuit of any worthwhile goal requires that you give up something that feels comfortable, secure, and safe in the moment to get you closer to your future dreams.

The level of success you will experience can be predicted by looking closely at the sacrifices you are willing to make.

The discipline of delaying gratification is a factor for predicting success.

In the success equation, subtraction comes before multiplication or addition. You must sow before you can reap a harvest.

Without a compelling vision to draw you away from your present and pull you through any challenges and into the future, it becomes easy to settle for a lesser life than the one you could achieve.

If you pay the price for success, you win. If you avoid payment, you lose. It’s really that simple.

Your willingness to sacrifice who you are today for who you need to be in the future is a necessary decision on the success journey.

You can only build on success, but to do this you have to be willing to let go of your last success and use it as a stepping stone for your next achievement.

Success has more to do with what you are willing to sacrifice than your skills, talent or IQ.

Success comes as a result of working towards fulfilling your potential and closing the gap between who you are now and who you are capable of becoming.

The greatest obstacle to your progress and growth is often your unwillingness to pay the necessary price through sacrifice.

Be willing to constantly travel towards the dreams of your future, and don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.

Your vision helps the world identify you at the appropriate time.

Those whom you spend most of your time with, and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts, play a significant part in who you become and the future you have.

Those in your inner circle can significantly influence your success and the progress you make towards achieving your dreams.

Success is achieved by the deliberate consistent discipline of taking small steps daily rather than one large step occasionally.

Taking action provides immediate feedback and an opportunity to review your progress to see if you are on the right track.

The first step may be the hardest, but once you take action you create motion, which in turn builds momentum.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success.

The best way of creating motivation is to do something. If you take action, motivation will follow

Waiting for things to happen is like daydreaming. To break out of that cycle, you must be willing to take the first small step.

Quit thinking and take the plunge. The way to get started is to stop talking and start doing.

Success is in direct proportion to the level of consistency in the application of the daily disciplines and actions required.

If your actions are combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

Consistency in action is easy once you convert your daily disciplines and activities into habits.

Consistency is the difference between game excellence and an excellent game. Successful people do consistently what the others do occasionally.

Feedback is to success like rest is to the body.

What you do consistently shapes your life.

Your success will be in direct proportion to your level of consistency in your application of the daily activities and actions needed for success.

Never allow your life to be dictated by what you can see by sight, be guided by your inner vision.

Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists.

A vision is a promise of the future as seen in the present.

Vision inspires and clarifies what needs to be done in the present to achieve the promise of the future.

To achieve success, you need to develop the ability to see through your mind’s eye continuously.

The most successful individuals and leaders achieve their dreams because they have a clear vision they have committed their life to.

Success is built on what you are able to see and create with your mind.

The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is in their ability to see not only with their eyes but also their minds.

The power and magnetic pull of your vision is hinged on the purpose and passion behind it and, most importantly, the intent.

Your life today is a direct reflection of the decisions you made and the actions you took.

Your vision helps you filter your decisions or choices and directs your actions.

Your vision is a glimpse of your purpose and a picture of your larger dream.

Waiting is often a decision not to accept responsibility and is one of the reasons why some people never reach their potential.

The moment you choose to be accountable for all outcomes in your life, you distance yourself from the position of a victim and assume the role of a change agent.

It’s difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time – you have to choose one.

We all have within ourselves the inclination to try to pass the blame to others when things don’t work in our favour. The ultimate challenge comes from suppressing this innate desire and replacing it with accountability and ownership for all things, good or bad.

One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

It’s easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.

Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.

Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.

A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take consistent and improved action over a defined period.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success. When combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.

You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.

Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.

Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.

Consistency in action is an essential component of success.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take massive action over a long period, even when there is no evidence of progress.

Gratitude is only expressed and appreciated in proportion to your understanding of grace.

Celebrate Yourself. You are Unique!

Don't waste your whole lifetime waiting for the perfect life when there's a perfectly good one within and right in front of you.

Reinvent Yourself.Redesign Yourself.Reform Yourself.Restore Yourself.and if something is left of you till thenAppreciate Yourself.

If we learn to love someone for their imperfections that reflect our own, we eventually thought that even the most beautiful things are damaged

Affirm yourself every day (especially after every setback) because no one else will do it for you.

Develop a vocabulary of uplifting and empowering words for times of uncertainty and upheaval.

Focus on the future and the outcomes you want, not your present setbacks or failures.

Loosing is part of winning. You will have to walk through the shadow of failure to get to he winning side.

Your beliefs frame your thoughts and actions. If you change your beliefs, you change your reality.

You can change your perspective on any experience by given it a positive and empowering meaning.

Through reframing, you can eliminate all limiting experiences from your life.
